The Last of My Quilts

Before I show you pictures of my quilts, I want to show you what my kids were doing as I was finishing up my quilts and things I was making for the home tour...


Jaman was making quilts at first, but then when he saw that I was making pillowcases too, he stopped and made a few pillowcases out of paper also! The funny thing was that he wanted to do it just like me, use my cutting board and everything! Funny kid!



Asher just enjoys cutting anything, so that's what she was doing!! They are so cute!




Here they are! The final few of the quilts that I made! It's weird to be completely done with them and have them all set up in the house ready to be sold tomorrow and Friday!


This quilt was made out of Lancaster County fabric. I sewed the material into nine patches and then cut each nine patch into fourths. Then turned each square. I think it made for a fun design.


Here's an upclose shot of it.


This is a blue and white metallic Christmas quilt. It is a rail quilt.

This is an I Spy quilt. Each of the squares are a different material. You have to try and find all the different objects in the quilt.


I got this idea from my friend Paula. I think it's great and have the stuff to make one for each of my kids...someday


I love this quilt. It's a little crazy and not really me, but I LOVE the purple and blue border around it. It was a really fun quilt to make.


And it was a lot of work! Look at all the little squares that had to be not only sewn but matched up!


This is something totally different from what I would usually do. It's preprinted and a story book and I just made it into a quilt. It was fun making it though. Not really the colors I'm used to.




This was a really fun quilt to make. Just laying it out really hurt my eyes! :) Once it got quilted, it's now much easier on them!


This was fun to mix and match everything!


Here is the basket of pillowcases I made too.


They are all Christmas pillowcases. Each has a little paper on them that says:

Wishes really do come true!

Each night in the month of December, make a wish for someone else.
On Christmas Eve, you can make a wish for yourself.

Please remember other's during this holiday season.


Here's an example of one that I made. I thought they were fun. I did a few that were more geared toward little kids and some that could be for adults! I think they are fun!


Whew! I'm done! As long as sales are good, I'll do it again next year. I'll just plan ahead more and start a tad bit earlier... :)
